A new online Chinese riddle game is steeped in more than just tradition. In fact, the machine learning and artificial intelligence that fuels it derives from years of research that also helps drive Bing Search, Bing Translator, the Translator App for Windows Phone, and other products.

"These innovations typically embody the strategic thought of Natural Language Processing 2.0, which is to collect big data on the Internet, to automatically build AI models using statistical machine learning methods, and to involve users in the innovation process by quickly getting their on-line feedback." Says Dr. Ming Zhou, Group Leader for Natural Language Computing Group and Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research Asia. "Thus the riddle system will continue to improve."
